List of mayors of Durham, Ontario

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Completely unsourced list of entirely non-notable people. Durham is a small town with a population of just 2.6K now, so its mayors aren't getting any notability freebies under WP:NPOL just for having existed as mayors -- which makes this just a meaningless list of names, and we shouldn't be keeping lists of non-notable people without really solid sources.

 * Delete if sources cannot be found. Keep if the list can be sourced.--User:Namiba 13:31, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of all knowledge. That this unsourced list has stood as an article for over 15 years is truly a travesty.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:26, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:LISTN as a list about a non-notable topic, which due to its scope will always consist of people who are not (necessarily) individually notable. - Astrophobe  (talk) 18:42, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Probably could have been PROD'd but this list is not notable. JayJayWhat did I do? 21:43, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per above comments. And I don't see sourcing as determinant of its notability in any way, per WP:NPOL.  The subject of the identity of all mayors for a small town will never be a notable subject, regardless of sourcing per WP:INDISCRIMINATE, and likely wouldn't be an encyclopedic addition to the top level article (per WP:DUE) either.  Therefore a redirect, which just like a PROD could have probably been done BOLDly, isn't really appropriate either. 65.129.46.123 (talk) 21:51, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. None of the mayors meet WP:NPOL, and a list of a bunch of non-notable names that will almost certainly never get pages isn't a useful or informative article. — Kawnhr (talk) 19:06, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
